Nevada added 97 new USDOT numbers in September 2026, 0.7% of the national total and 34th of 51. That was up 11.5% from September 2025 (87). Over the 12 months to September 2026, Nevada added 1,321, up 8.5% from the prior 12 months, ahead of the national change of +5.4%. That puts Nevada 34th for the year with 0.7% of all new registrations.
Before FMCSA's legacy data froze on May 14, 2026, the legacy system recorded new operating authority grants for an average of 50 USDOT numbers a month in Nevada (May 2025 to April 2026), 1.0% of the national total. In September 2026, Motus recorded 54, 1.1% of the national Motus count and 27th of 51. Relative to its legacy average, Nevada's Motus count is higher than the national pattern (109% of its legacy average, against 96% nationally). The systems count differently, so treat this as a rough comparison.
Legacy data recorded an average of 63 involuntary revocations a month for USDOT numbers in Nevada before the freeze. Since the cutover, Motus records involuntary suspensions instead: 9 took effect for USDOT numbers in Nevada in September 2026 (25th of 51), and 52 over the last three months. Insurance filings were cancelled (not replaced) for an average of 211 USDOT numbers a month in Nevada in the legacy data; Motus shows 20 in September 2026, a floor because Motus InsHist covers only authorities touched in Motus.
Of the 1,321 USDOT numbers added in Nevada from October 2025 to September 2026, 23 (1.7%) list a phone or email shared with at least 3 other USDOT records, below the national rate of 2.3%. 11 of the 23 sit in clusters of 51 or more records.

Operating authority grants
Legacy and Motus counts are separate lines. FMCSA's legacy data froze on May 14, 2026, and Motus records authority actions differently, so the gap at the break is not a measured change.
- Legacy L&I (frozen May 14, 2026)
- Motus (from May 15, 2026)
- Partial month
- Legacy data frozen May 14, 2026
Legacy and Motus record authority actions in different systems with different record structures. Compare their levels with care and do not read the gap at the cutover as a change in applications.

This is not the same legal action as the legacy series. Since the cutover, FMCSA's public Motus data records involuntary suspensions where the legacy data recorded involuntary revocations.

The Motus InsHist dataset is far smaller than the legacy one (63,228 rows in total when checked in October 2026) and covers only authorities touched in Motus. Its counts are a floor, not a like-for-like continuation of the legacy level.

Method notes
- The May 14, 2026 method break
- FMCSA's legacy L&I datasets (AuthHist, Revocation, InsHist and others) stopped updating on 2026-05-14. Their descriptions now say they will no longer be updated. FMCSA's Motus system replaced them, and its public datasets update daily. Legacy series stop at May 2026 and Motus series start at May 2026, and May is marked partial in both. The two are never joined into one line, because the systems record actions differently. Motus rows dated before 2026-05-15 are migrated history for authorities later touched in Motus, so they are excluded.
- Units
- Event series count distinct USDOT numbers per month, so a carrier with several authorities or filings affected in the same month counts once. Legacy rows with a USDOT of 00000000 (old dockets with no USDOT on file) are excluded. A USDOT affected in two different months counts in both.
- How states are assigned
- States come from the physical address (phy_state) in the Company Census File as of its 2026-10-17 load, not the address at the time of the event. Event datasets are joined to the census on USDOT number with a SoQL JOIN. Share of national counts that land in one of the 50 states or DC: registrations 98.4%, legacy grants 97.3%, Motus grants 97.6%, legacy revocations 97.9%, Motus suspensions 98.2%, legacy insurance cancellations 98.7%, Motus insurance cancellations 98.6%. The rest are carriers based in U.S. territories, Canada or Mexico, or USDOT numbers with no census match. National totals include them, so state shares add up to a little under 100%.
